"Squanto helped the Pilgrims immeasurably. They received a wealth of information from him. He taught them such things as how to distinguish between plants that were helpful and harmful, how to plant corn and other crops, and how to tap maples for their sap. The 1621 harvest in October was quite successful. There was much to celebrate: peace with their native neighbors, an abundance of food and stores, the completed construction of homes and village buildings, and life itself. Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving for the settlers and invited their Native American neighbors to join the celebration. The chief of the Patuxets, Massasoit, led 90 of his braves to the three-day feast. In addition to the feast, the celebrants played various games, demonstrated their archery and musket marksmanship, and shared music together."
